   I'm listening to a @dosgameclub podcast episode on Indiana Jones, and I remembered I have bought some LucasArts games on Steam... I had Loom, and I had Indiana Jones & TFOA... Yay! But.. Frick! It doesn't play anymore on my new macOS. The 32 bit support was dropped at one point. I wonder if there's any plans of wrapping these in some sort of a virtual machine to make them run on newer Macs? I know I could install a virtual machine but I really can't be bothered. #retrogaming

     Tried this. Neither Dreamm or ScummVM see the Loom or Indy game I install from Steam. I'd need to download the original Windows executables from Steam and give those to these VM's, but all Steam lets me download are the macOS versions.If Steam would let me download the windows versions, that would solve this, but this is the whole point: I didn't want to jump through flaming hoops to do this. Thanks for suggestions everybody but I don't have the spoons for this right now.

     Okay I don't know what I was doing wrong earlier, but now I did something right and ScummVM finally found it. Thank you! :blobcat_uwu:
